Food Security Fund

In a world riddled with staggering challenges, Human Relief Mission stands at the forefront, addressing the pressing issue of global hunger. A disheartening reality is that millions of individuals face the uncertainty of not knowing where their next meal will come from. The soaring costs of essential food staples cast a shadow across the globe, and for those in the ummah whose homes and livelihoods have been ravaged by the cruel forces of war, displacement, disease, and climate change, survival itself becomes a daily struggle.

Amidst the dire circumstances around the world, the plight of children takes centre stage.

More young lives succumb to the silent agony of undernutrition each year with a staggering 45% of all deaths among children under 5 are attributed to the insidious grip of malnutrition. Donate now.

Bread Distribution

When you donate food packages, hot meals or naan breads to families in need you are helping save lives. Our teams on the ground perform necessary checks to scout for eligible beneficiaries to whom aid can be given. If an individual is eligible for zakat, they automatically become eligible for our food security programs. Once a list of beneficiaries has been selected, they are added to our beneficiaries’ records so they can be listed for our many other food security programs.

Join hands with us by contributing to our food security projects, so Human Relief Mission can extend a lifeline to those facing malnutrition and hunger. Your donation will empower us to provide nourishment, a source of hope, whenever and wherever it is needed most. Together, let us forge a path towards a world where no one goes to bed hungry, and the echoes of compassion resonate louder than the cries of an empty stomach.

What does Islam teach about hunger?

In Islam, feeding the hungry is a highly-rewarded act of worship. The significance of feeding the hungry is emphasised in the following Hadith:

The Hadith above signify the importance of never thinking about oneself, but always those that are in need and how Allah will question us about our actions and wealth.

During Ramadan, as well as other significant days in the Islamic calendar, Muslims fast from dawn to dusk. This means abstaining from food, water and intimacy. By going hungry for up to 20 hours a day in some parts of the world, we are taught to have greater empathy for those in need, for whom going hungry is not a choice. Fasting also helps to teach patience, and self-restraint, and helps us to draw closer to Allah.

Can you give food as Sadaqah?

Yes, you can give food as Sadaqah in Islam, if you do so for the sake of Allah.

The above Hadith illustrates the importance in purifying your intention when giving food. If done for the right reasons, you can earn great rewards for feeding yourself and others.

As well as giving food parcels to others, you can also help to gain the rewards of Sadaqah Jariyah by contributing to sustainable food sources which can benefit families for generations.
